I agree. I was really disappointed with these pads. I mean, they aren't horrible but they're just sub-par in basically every way. They tend to squeak, dust a lot, and have a weak bite unless heated from very hard braking. But heat them up too much and they start sucking again... It's the worst modification I ever made to my car. Fortunately, I'm about to change brakes again and will likely be going with Endless.

Has anyone tried Akebono Performance pads? I hear they're pretty good all around street pads for the money.
